Does burnt hair grow back?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It entirely depends on level the burn took place. For mild burns hair regrowth usually takes places once the scalp gets healed.

View allI'm a 39-year-old woman and had my gallbladder removed about a year ago. Six months later, I started getting pimples and marks on my skin, which I've never dealt with before. My skin is pretty fair, and I've tried using some products like sebeam soap, cleargel, and epiduo, as recommended by a dermatologist. It's been three weeks, but I'm not seeing much improvement. What's going on, and what else can I do to clear these up?

I'm planning my wedding and the stress of acne is really getting to me. The doctor prescribed me Deriva CMS gel for my acne, but I'm really worried it might make things worse before they get better, especially with my big day coming up. Does this gel really cause acne to increase at the start? Im just so confused about whether I should start using it now. Any advice would be massively helpful.
Deriva CMS gel is a topical retinoid treatment that contains adapalene, which can help reduce acne. Initial Breakout or Purge: Yes, it's common for Deriva CMS gel to cause an initial breakout or "purge" phase, especially during the first 2-4 weeks of treatment. This can manifest as: 1. Increased redness and inflammation 2. More noticeable acne lesions 3. Skin sensitivity or irritation This initial breakout is usually a sign that the treatment is working, as it pushes underlying blockages and bacteria to the surface. Pre-Wedding Concerns: Given your upcoming wedding, it's understandable that you're concerned about the potential initial breakout. However, it's essential to remember that: 1. The initial breakout is usually temporary and subsides within a few weeks. 2. Deriva CMS gel can help improve your skin's appearance and reduce acne in the long run.

I'm dealing with oily and acne-prone skinwhat I can use Venusia cream as a moisturizer? I'm really worried about whether it might block my pores and lead to more acne. What do you think?
Venusia cream is not specifically formulated for oily and acne-prone skin. It may be too heavy and could potentially clog pores, leading to more acne breakouts. I recommend using oil-free and non-comedogenic moisturizers like Cetaphil Oil Control Moisturizer. Apply a thin layer of moisturizer to clean skin twice a day for best results.
